Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 c light brown sugar
1/3 c water
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 c heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sugar and water in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir together, then run a rubber spatula around the inside edge of the pan to remove any bits of sugar. This will prevent crystallization.
  • 2. Place the saucepan over low heat until the sugar starts to dissolve. Turn the heat up to medium-high until it starts to thicken. DO NOT STIR. Watching the pot is highly recommended. Caramel burns very easily. It shoud be a deep amber in color and smell slightly toasted.
  • 3. Add the butter carefully. The mixture will roil and bubble. Whisk until all of the butter is blended. Turn off the heat. Add the heavy cream very slowly - again, the mixture will roil and bubble.
  • 4. Add the vanilla and salt and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool. To come to room temp will take about 3-4 hours. The sauce will thicken again as it cools.
  • 5. Keeps for about two weeks in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It won't last that long, though!

This sauce is amazing! It's so easy to make and it tastes like it came from a professional bakery. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again and again.

Not bad, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I love the slight crunch of the sea salt. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This sauce is perfect for dipping apples or pretzels. It's also great on ice cream or pancakes.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a good recipe.

I've made this sauce several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it tastes even better than the store-bought stuff.

This sauce is absolutely divine! The sweet and salty flavors are perfectly balanced, and the texture is rich and creamy. I used it to top my ice cream, and it was the perfect finishing touch.
